     D                         G
The dawn shines her light to scare off the night
     D                       A
The sun from his slumber is woken
         Bm                           G
And the bells are ringing out as the town
crier shouts
                         A
Words too strong to be spoken

There's a rumble in the ground and
the air fills with sound
Trumpets in the wind are a blowing
And the townsfolk peep through the curtains of sleep
To the sound of the cocks all a crowin'

Chorus:
     G
The winds may blow
      D          Bm
Come rain, come snow
   E                 A
Today's for you and me
   G                D
I gave my heart to you my love
     G                  D
You gave your heart to me

The sun wears a smile and the clock winks its dial
Clouds in the sky are unfolding
And the birds on the wing, like angels they sing
The heavens are glowing all golden

The crowds all spill out, they cheer and they shout
Banners and flags are a waving
And the flowers all abloom blow kisses to the moon
As blossom falls on the paving

Chorus

The whole world roars a Chorus of applause
Strangers from Delhi to Dublin
Are swept off their feet as they kiss on the street
And the waters like champaigne are bubbling
